FORUMSHIRE ART GALLERY

Daaaaaaaaaamn!!

And the portrait of Emma Watson. (Watson! XD) ...



And what I like the most about your art is that it makes me want to draw something myself.

wow that reminds me of when Dr Watson asks Sherlock if he is going to stand around looking cool with his cheekbones and coat collar turned up.

Your amazing work continues unabatted Norc. Its not bloody fair I tell you!

Wow! I mean... WOW!

ooh.. thank you guys ^^ thank you very much and Amarië, if I inspire you I'm awefully flattered

it's really big, but zoom out this is a really quick sketch so it looks a bit funny. the hair and the face.

Conveys a very strict attitude Norc, I like that- he looks like someone has just made him very crabbit- porbably just saw PJ's LotR's.
Is that chalk or pastel?

looks like charcoal to me, He does look very crabbit.

Thankyou Mrs Figg- when I wrote the last post there was a third option but couldn't think what it was, that's the buckie for you.

I like how I finally got the buttons on his shirt right. They're screaming in agony to be unbuttoned..

*googled translated charcoal* no, it's not. I love the technique though. It's graphite pencils on rough paper. My favourite ones. Like these. no wood, just all pencil-thing. and it's quite blown up. the drawing is much smaller in reality, so it looks like the pencils I used were larger.


here is the original pic.

They're screaming in agony to be unbuttoned..- Norc

Strangely that thought never crossed my mind!
Not used graphite pencils in years, not since college I don't think (I did Graphic design at college with a focus on print and design- so anyone need a t-shirt print run up I'm your hobbit. )

graphite pencils are HEAVEN! LOVE'EM!

did you say anything about t-shirt print? maybe a forumshire t-shirt?? ;D

Mmmm, a Forumshire T-shirt- there's a thought.
Any suggestions for what should be on it? (I think the back should be like a cast list with all the main members names on it. You know the way concert t-shirts have all the gig dates on the back-sort of like that).

yes, that would be great! (with the title!) but I have to go to bed now but definitely YES! that would be so awesome! (but we would ofcourse find out who the main members are first)

Regular posters would be the sensible way to go. There only is about a dozen folks post here regular so should be able to get everyone on the back easy enough- its what goes on the front is the question. Something subtle or something bold? Thinking caps on folks.
I can do the printing easy enough.
Happt dreams of Sherlock Norc!

didn't dream of Sherlock

okay! the front! any ideas!? maybe some sort of sign? or hobbits? or..??

First question is basically big or small?- do we want something subtle- a Forumshire logo say and nothing more discreetly placed? Or something bold and covering most of the front?

BIG AND BOLD AND NOISY!!! just like we are

omg I am geeking out at this t-shirt idea, I would love to know what the word Forumshire looks like in Elvish, maybe we could have it in Elvish script in an arc and then below that the picture we have as a banner in a circle under the Elvish word, and then under that some Tolkienesque lettering saying 'home of free spirits' or summat like that, and then on the back all our avatars.

GEEKING OUT!

or or something like, 'say Forumshire and enter' in Elvish script?

ooh!! yes! some elvish! but we can also just have pedo mellon a minno. when you say avatars, do you mean with photo or just names? (I suggest names and title)

I dont think we should use the banner- as its copyrighted image- Eldo got permission to use it I believe, being the concentious sort he is.
We can use the Aniron script font however which Forumshire on the banner is wirtten in. But the design will have to be our own creation.
And I think it shoud somehow strive to represent the forum rather than the films or even just Tolkien.

yeah, cuz, let's face it, the forum isn't just about the Hobbit anymore

Its always been about the people really, thats what makes it special. We just a need a way to reflect that somehow. Thinking caps on folks!

I di have a thought about the back- the 'concert dates' idea- we could have differnet places like concert shirts do- Ozhobbbitstan, Scotsdale, Fjordianland ect with the name of members from each.

YES!
